Harcs in q Battle.

French.
The plain was simply covered with
hares, which the long advance of the
two armies had gathered into that
narrow space. Every ten steps we
started up one of these animals.
Frightened by our guns, they ran for
their lives, and continued to run until
they reached the Austrian lines.
There they were none the less terrified,
and came rushing back upon us.
The soldiers were greatly amused
by the frantic movements OF the hares,
and could hardly he restrained from
making after them.
Finally, there was q great Austrian
cavalry charge. which. of course, took
no account OF the hares. The horses
plunged in among them, and they

There was that day a great slaugh-

No Such Thing as Red Hair.

A reporter, who had determined to
unsolve the mystery OF red hair, at
dusk sought an artist in his studio to
find out what color red hair was.
The artist was looking picturesque
and kind, and was pleased to mix on
his palette three different shades OF
red, three of yellow and three OF
brown.
"Now," said he with the air OF the
college professor who pauses to catch
the class with some startling question,
point me out the color that is like
her hair!' The reporter couldn't do
it. He lowered about the orage color
as the small boy around the circus
tent, but could not touch it. He al
most singled out one of the sickly
looking browns, but the red he skip
ped entirely.
"Give it up"
''Thought you would" said the ar
tbs condescendingly. "What people
call red hair is a mixture of two or
three co]ors, according to the shade
OF red. Now, look here. If dab my
finger in this yellow and mix it with
that red, what do l get?"
"Why, exactly the color of hair the
girl had to-day"
II told you So" said the artist,
land don't let any one convince you
that there is such a thing as real red
hair. Call it red if you choose, but
don't think of it az the same color as
a train lantern or q coaching parasol,
because you will be way of. Adelaide

scienco Of Carving.

uSrp0F 0ak0fs
An expert carver can divide poultry
without removing the fork from the
breast bone Or turning tho bird on
the dish, but a beginner will do we'll
to have q small fork at hand for the
purpose of laying out portions aside
as the carving progresses. Turn the
bird 50 that the carving fork can be
held in the left hand and firmly fixed
in the breast bone, and use a very
sharp knife with a small flexible blade.
First cut of both drum sticks at the
knee joint, and then rem0ve the sec.
ond joints. With tender bird this
is not a difficult matter; but both
strength and skill are needed to cope
successfully with tough or undone
turkey because very strong sinews are
plentiful about the leg joints. Next
cut of the first joints of the wings
and the pinions, and then the
joints nearest the body. This
method of cutting off the first joints
OF the legs and wings before separating
them from the body saves that troub-
lesome feat of holding those members
while they are being disjointed. Ere.
quently they slip about the platter
and spatter the dish gravy.
Alter the wings are removed cut of
the merry thought or wish bone, and
then the wing side bones which hold
the breast to the backbone; then
carve the breast in medium thin slices
and serve the bird, giving gravy and
stuffing on each plate. If the diners
ere numerous it may be necessary to
cut off moro of the flesh, and even to
dismember the carcass. This can be
done with more or less ease as the cary.
er understands the anatomy of the
bird. If a carver would study the loca.
ton OF the joints while carving, and take
the trouble to cut upseveral carcasses
by striking the points where bones
are joined together, subsequent carv.
ing would be easy. The joints of all
birds are similarly placed, so nearly
identical in point OF junction that one
is a guide to all others.

Winning q Wife I'm Singapore.
From All the Year Round.
The damsel in Singapore is given a
canoe and g. double-bladed paddle and
allowed q start of some distance.
The sutton, similarly equipped, starts
off in chase. If he succeeds in over
taking her she becomes his vile; if not,
the match is broken off. 1t is seldom
that objections is offered at the last
moment, and the race is generally a
short one. The maidens arms are
strong, but her heart is soft and her
nature is warm and she soon becomes
a willing captive. If the marriage
takes place where no stream Is near,
a round circle of certain size is
formed, the damsel is stripped of all
but a waistband and given half the
circles start, and if she succeeds in
running three times around before her
sutton comes up with her she is enti-
tied to remain virgin; if not. she
must consent to the bonds of matri-
mony. AS in the other cases, but few
outstrip their lovers.

OF the Princess of Wales, who, if she
lives, will some day be Queen and EN-
press of Britannia's dominions, a.
charming story is inst added to the
many humane acts for which she is
noted. A little while ago she visited
the Milbank female prison, and was
shown over the place by the chap
lain. In one of the cells was woman
who was so violent that it had been
found necessary to handcuff her.
Her Royal Highness spoke kindly and
tenderly to the woman, demonstrated
with her as to her conduct and COM
pletely broke down her sullenness.
The refractory woman burst into
tears, and on the Princess asking her
to promise that if the handouts were
removed she would not be violent, she
faltered out in O. voice choked with
sobs, II will really be good, my lady,
if they take these thin s off," 1t is
needless to say that "these things"
were taken off,.
